Joel on Software - “Two Stories”

I want to tell you two stories from my career which I think are
classic illustrations of the difference between tech companies that
are well-managed and tech companies that are disasters. It comes
down to the difference between trusting employees and letting them
get things done, versus treating them like burger flippers that
need to be monitored and controlled every minute, lest they wander
off and sabotage everything.
